An ElOpement.

Monday a Mr.. Brown, of Eu l..
reka, was out in the field at work,
leaving his daughter, Miss Alta
Brown, young lady Of about Is,
at the honse. When Mr.. Brown re.
turned to the house in the evening,
his daughter had flown the ranch,
and it afterwards transpires that she
had eloped with one Ed McGinnis, a
neighbor, who had been for some
time paying attention to the young
lady against the wishes of their pa
rents. The young couple drove to
town, put their team up at Benedict
q Meacham's barn, and left instruc-
tions for them to care for it for three
days. They then took the evening
train for the East. Late last mig hit
Mr.. Brown and some neighbors came
in search of the run-aways. The
father had "blood in his eye," and if
he catches Mr.. McGinnis, his name
will likely be ''Dinnis."

LAND OFFICE TRou. BILE.

Rumors of trouble in the q. ,. land
Office at Larned have been Il ing IN
the air for some time. But the nature
of the difficulty has been M ystery
to most people. The DEMOCRAT as re-
Trained from saying anything in II gard
to the matter until the present mo-
ment. because the whole thing wa so
vague that it was impossible to Say
just what was going on, or against
whom the fight was directed. But the
curtain has raised and now the rest OF
the play will be for the delectation OF
the general public. To express the
whole matter briefly, it is sought to re-
move the Register of that office. The
charges brought against him are OF
serious Importance and, IT sustained,
he will have to go. On the con-
trary, If they are not sustained, the
Register should be sustained. The
DEMOCRAT has not single word to say
in this matter. Last winter we
thought the Office did wrong in sending
half the land notices to Republican
paper, and we spoke right out III meet
ing and said SO. But i'll regard to these
charges we know nothing. 1t seems to
us that the proper course for the Dem
Ocrats of this land district to pursue
is to take no part in the matter at pres
ent. The government has sent COM
petent man to examine the whole mat
ter, and he is now engaged i'll a
full investigation. Let us, us impair
tial jurors, wait until the testimony is
before us and then decide in accord
ance Herewith. 1t is folly for us to
range ourselves OH different sides be-
fore the investigation and begin a war
among ourselves. Let us assume,
before the evidence is heard, that
the Register has been an honest
and efficient officer. If the evidence
condemns him, let us rise as one man
and say, $50 mote be-" If on the con-
trary the evidence eXonerates him, he
must not only be indicated, but his
accusers must not be held guIiltless.
This is the course the DEMOCRAT has
decided on for itself and we hope the
party will endorse it.

AS THE coming fair is being talk
ed up we learn of numerous gen tie
men throughout the county who have
bloOded stock which they propose to
exhibit.
FROM the annual appOrtiOnment of
the State superintendent OF public in
struction we learn that Barton cOun-
ty has 1868 of school population, Il
little more than one fifth of which is
furnished by the city of Great Bend.
The amount of state funds apportoined
to this county is So, 52O.72. There are
thirty eight counties i'll the state which
haye a smaller school population than
Barton.
OUR town is now III healthy cOndi-
ton, financially. There are not many
transfers being made in real estate,
but what are made are at good prices.
A feeling of confidence has taken the
place of the slight furry of uneasiness
which the dry weather of month ago
cast over a few of the latest additions
to our business circles. Our mer-
chants have laid in and are now laying
i'll larger stocks of goods than they ever
carried before, and the regular fall
trade has. commenced. 1t has been the
experience of the ''stayers' in this
country that the men who are not
afraid of a little depression in bust
ness and are willing and ready at all
times to put their shoulders to the
wheel and boost" occasionally. are
the men who are to-day in indepen-
dent circumstances. Good citizens in
any community are those who come to
stay, and the men who shirk none of
the responsibilities of that citizenship.
They contribute their means in pro-
portion to the benefits they derive from
any public enterprise or undertaking
They comprehend the meaning of the
word enterprise" and they know that
no general good can come without some
concert of action upon the part of
those who will be benefited thereby
